Nice vid Gazz, looking forward to upcoming episodes.
Quick question, when you join an edf motor to esc do you use bullets or just solder wire to wire?

Top idea.
Because I fly like crap compared to Gazz I am a bit more of an "expert".
And have done quite a bit of building.... and... rebuilding.

I suspect that the dx4 can "smell" the hardcore futaba fumes that you emanate and reacts the only way it knows how, ie shitting itself and unbinding.

Dual receivers won't resolve that issue.
